    Amy, I admire you for caring for two small children while renovating your home and gardens on such a large scale. I’m happy you found so much to admire and so many ideas while at Chateau LaLande. I can’t wait to see how you decide to renovate your rooms after getting such creative inspiration from your LaLande visit!

    Juliet and her garden tools was on a mission 😂😂😂Both she and Clement are adorable and growing up fast. What an incredible project episode on building the foundation for your greenhouse. It’s gonna be amazing. Looking forward to seeing the progress in future vlogs 😍😘

    You are both amazing! Marc’s ability to envision what could be and your technical ability to help design it. And of course, Juliette with her garden tools and Clement as your assistant. The greenhouse is going to be sooo helpful.

    Such a fascinating process!! Great job, everyone!!! Even Clement and Juliette are pitching in, and doing their part!! They already understand that it takes 'work' to get what you want, done. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Would you please come and build MY greenhouse in Napoleon, Missouri, USA?!?!? 🙃😉

    Brilliant! Marc & Amy beautifully complement each other. Amy's archeology background means she can interpret and draw the schematics and Marc's many agrarian skills mean they don't have to hire a surveyor! ❤ The beautiful little ones are having such fun in their natural wonderland. I am always intrigued to see the various equipment used in your area. So different from what I see in the Midwest USA. I want that little digger!!!!😍

    As a gardening enthusiast, I am really interested in this build and success with growth of vegetables, flowers, herbs. My 8 x10 greenhouse, I do love, it gets so hot in the summer months with the door wide open and the gas windows open. I had the option of an extractor fan, I opted out because of price. I start my seedlings in zip lock bags on a heat pad, then transfer to pots. Great success with this method. ❤️❤️🇨🇦

    Very interesting. I enjoyed listening to you two working out the plan. So….the cistern = glass house = greenhouse? And the top of the trench is the level of what will be the floor? Will the iron-glass piece then sit on the low wall that Marc mentioned?
    My grandfather was a civil engineer. This subject fascinates me. 😊

    • @LostGardensofChateauRosieres
      @LostGardensofChateauRosieres  11 місяців тому +2

      Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully the little diagrams at the beginning show the outline. The greenhouse/glasshouse will be standing against the cistern which will be a technical room with doors and windows onto the greenhouse.

    It is great to see progress on the agricultural side of things as well as on the home and hearth side. I look forward to seeing the stages of the build. You probably mentioned it already at some point, but I am assuming the long wall of the greenhouse faces south? Will the two greenhouses be adjacent or on opposite sides of the property? Great work on the planning side!

    • @LostGardensofChateauRosieres
      @LostGardensofChateauRosieres  10 місяців тому

      I should probably do a plan of where they are - you’re right! Nobody seems to mind my amateur drawings! Yes they will both face south and yes they’re either side of the central gardens. Not too far away from each other but not next to each other!

    Marc did great on the measurements, and I loved Amy's phone application! I love seeing the kids helping out. How did Marc learn to use the measuring equipment? I really like the greenhouse plan. I do have one question. Where is the doorway going to get into the greenhouse? Did you say it was going to be in the water tank? This is good, so you keep window space. Great job on the video! I love the soil content analysis and the greenhouse's planning. You guys are doing great. Thank you for the video!!!

      Hey Tim and Christine! I think I’m going to do a better design on this week’s video so people can understand the plan. It will test my drawing capabilities though!!! Marc had a degree in engineering which helps with things like surveying! Did you see the 3D model on Patreon? I can talk you through that too.

      There was a post at the start stating the date it was filmed. It stayed up for several seconds. Not sure how much more accurate I can get! This is a different channel too - we show things in a different order on both so that we can show projects from start to completion rather than jumping around each week.
